Do you mean you'll tag them when you issue a review ? If so, maybe that
can help our testers automatically trigger a series of tests when they
spot a tag that was not tested yet instead of having to monitor emails ?
If that's the case, I have no issue with pushing a tag when I emit a
series as well.
